"color:#000000 ">HI Jeremy and all,</span></span>
<p>
<span style=
"font-family:MS Sans Serif "><span style=
"color:#000000 ">As the List Admin I try to assist the supplier (originally Borland, and now Embarcedero / ActiveNZ ) to communicate with the List Group. They and their agents either post direct to the Group, or via me.</span></span>
<p>
<span style=
"font-family:MS Sans Serif "><span style=
"color:#000000 ">I'll talk with them regarding this point, as ours is not the only emailling list they have to communicate with regarding the release of new product versions. Maybe the List needs a targetted Post?</span></span>
<p>
<span style=
"font-family:MS Sans Serif "><span style=
"color:#000000 ">Personally, where I find read stuff I already know, I let my mind simply pass over it until I find something I didn't know, like some of the gems in Jolyon's extensive posts. </span></span>
<p>
<span style=
"font-family:MS Sans Serif "><span style=
"color:#000000 ">In many others, where I'm reading stuff I already know, I try not to let that be a negative, but accept it as being part of a Group with many different levels of expertise. Goes with the territory. Some of us have now over 20 years working with Delphi. (Note: Thanks Wade for getting us on the Beta! )</span></span>
<p>
<span style=
"font-family:MS Sans Serif "><span style=
"color:#000000 ">If you are looking at more technical details of any release, may I suggest following the Embarcadero Blog site:</span></span>
<p>
<span style=
"font-family:MS Sans Serif "><span style=
"color:#000000 ">http://blogs.embarcadero.com</span></span>
<p>
<span style=
"font-family:MS Sans Serif "><span style=
"color:#000000 ">There are 69 different Blogs, so there should at least be one to suit.</span></span>
<p>
<span style=
"font-family:MS Sans Serif "><span style=
"color:#000000 ">With the advent of many new product / features, there is now much more marketing activity - always a criticism of the old Borland days - and I personally hope they make headway. I love my "delphi".</span></span>
<p>
<span style=
"font-family:MS Sans Serif "><span style=
"color:#000000 ">If nothing else, the more frequent seminars being arranged gives us the opportunity to meet up at a nice hotel, and free coffee & nibbles. Nice to see you again Wade, Russell, Blom, Ian(x2) and others .... sorry to miss you last time Jolyon.</span></span>
<p>
<span style=
